Out of Service Today

A nasty bug has been lurking in our house.  

While I am still here, my “here” is really about fifteen feet away on the couch with blankets and tea.  Know that I have not forgotten about you, dear friends.  Here is a poem I wrote in college after feeling just about as I do now.  

I remember years ago.  Whenever one of us was sick, my siblings and I would always try to help each other.  Our gestures didn’t always turn out too helpful sometimes.  I’m sure you can relate!

 

I’M SICK

I’m sick of being sick,
and I’m tired of being tired.
But Mama, tell my brother
who spills my soup
and steals the remote—
He’s fired!

    Aw, I’m sorry you’re not feeling well. We all just got over the gunk last week. The 3 of us passed it around for 2 weeks! Horrible. I hope you’re feeling better soon and that you don’t pass it to Martin.

    Oh, I’m sorry! Today was my first day back to work since being stuck at home for 2 days with the flu. Not fun! Somehow I feel unproductive like I should be getting stuff done while I’m at home. Get better soon!

    The flu is rampant among my students. This season seems especially bad compared to previous years! Hope you’re feeling better soon.
